2003 Strategic Plan Presentation To UNO Strategic Planning Advance November 14, 2003
What is Strategic Planning? • Strategic: preparing the best way to respond to circumstances (objectives and resources) of the organization’s environment- regardless of whether they are known in advance. • Planning: intentionally setting goals and developing an approach to achieving those goals. • Disciplined and focused: a set of decisions about what to do, why to do it and how to do it.
Successful Strategic Planning: • Leads to action • Builds a shared vision that is values-based • Is an inclusive, participatory process in which board and staff take on shared ownership • Accepts accountability to the community • Is externally focused and sensitive to the organization’s environment • Is based on quality data • Requires an openness to questioning the status quo • Is a key part of effective management
The Strategic Planning Process Step One - Getting Ready Step Two - Articulating the Mission and Vision Step Three - Accessing the Situation Step Four - Developing Strategies, Goals and Objectives Step Five - Completing the Written Plan
